albionidahoWas just looking over docbrites discussion of Tom Swiftys, saidisms, and adverbs, etc.
And I became concerned.
I just did a rewrite on "The Wood and the Brass", adding and rearranging a pivotal scene, and I was concerned I'd turned it into something that resembled some of the examples docbrite used in her examples.
I was relieved to see that I had not, and that, as a matter of fact, the scene isn't so bad.
The writer's prayer:
"Please keep me from writing bad, cheesy dialog and action, and once I've become a writer, please help me stay a writer. Thank you."
Reference to greygirlbeast and Harlan there, of course.
